Killing anyone during the commissionn of a crime is murder, usually, however to prove murder the Crown must show that the driver set out to intentionally kill the people they ran over, into or whatever that resulted in their deaths.
As a result it is usual for the charge to be one of Death by reckless driving, a charge that can carry up to 14 years, however in my personal opinion the CPS should charge them with Manslaughter, as this give the Judge the discretion to hand out a life sentence. It would be unlikely that this would be given, but the Judge can give it with a low rec, thus in, say, 10 years they could be released, but they would be on parole for life, then should they even shop lift they would automatically be returned to prison without a court case.
In my opinion the Judiciary do not make enough use of the weapons at their disposal within the framework of the law, and the CPS seem reluctant to charge people with offences in a way that reflects their actions during the crime they commit.
